In this unique volume Judith Abrams, author of the highly regarded
series The Talmud for Beginners, examines the episodes recorded in
rabbinic literature that suggest the actions of the women of those
times. By overlooking what the sages thought about women, or what
they believed women ought to do in theory, and by focusing upon the
situational and behavioral patterns of these women, Abrams has
constructed a credible and feasible account of what women belonging
to the rabbinic era were actually like and the manner in which they
conducted themselves on a daily basis. Upon looking at the
materials presented, the reader will find that women were every bit
as varied a group then as women are today; some were pious and
respectful of the sages and some disregarded them; some were poor
and others rich; some longed to be married while others yearned for
divorce. Perhaps the greatest surprise to the reader will be
discovering the large amount of power and control women had over
their own lives. Far from passive, these women were not the
powerless figures the reader may have thought them to be.
